Mr. Jensen explained that M1BA is now in its 20th year of operation and owns the Pacific Trail Building. At the time that the sale of the property to MIBA was being negotiated, 15 Manti residents contributed $57,000 in the space of five days to facilitate the purchase. A canvass of the town raised $30,000 more in cash and $10,000 in pledges of labor, and with that, MIBA was on its way to achieving its goal of creating a favorable climate for incoming business in the Manti area.

Park Superintendent Norman Hersman said. The State Engineer and the irrigation companies which have storage rights at the lake have apparently reached agreement on the water level, Mr. Hersman said. One solution to the flooding problem, he explained, could be raising the road on the south side of the campground to keep out the water. Another solution could be the development of a new campground in the southeast part of the park.

The trees and grass plantings will be watered from the pump well and 20,000 gallon storage tank that supplies the park with culinary water, Mr. Hersman said. The plantings and other developments at the park are intended to increase enjoyment of the facility, according to Mr. Hersman. Camping at the park has been increasing each year, he said, and believes it is likely to continue increasing because rising gasoline prices will cause people to restrict their travel. We can certainly use more camp sites, he said. The plantings, he added, will not only enhance the beauty of the park but provide other benefits. Theyll provide more shade and reduce heat and dust, he pointed out. Theyll increase the habitat for birds and animals, and theyll include some native species, like Douglas fir, thus adding to the enjoyment of those visiting the park, he said.

"The present campground has 21 sites," he said, and we could use several more. During the summer months I have to turn people away because we dont have places for them. In the meantime, an extensive planting program is underway at the park.
